The program may take a few seconds to start up, please be patient. it may also ask for a password, this is the password you use to log into you computer (not necessarily the same as your e-mail password). Once the program is open it should look like this:

If the Culpeper1 and Culpeper2 menus don't show up on the left please make sure you are connected to the network in Confer/Vickner via a wired (NOT wireless) connection. If everything is connected but you still don't see them please call Ryan Furness.

If all the time-slots say No Program Info click on the Update Listing button on the lower left. This process will take a few seconds as it is accesses the program information over the network.

If instead channels and programs the TV Listings is completely blank that means you still need to set up your station listings.

Note: If you click on the name of the station on the left of the screen, a new box will pop up which gives you a more in-depth description of the shows on that channel.

Recording a Show

To record a show, go to the TV Listing section, click on a show you want to record and then click the Schedule button. When you do this it will open a new window. In this window you will choose which Replay to record on (either is fine, but you must choose one) either Culpeper1 or Culpeper2. Once you have chosen a ReplayTV you then should choose which language folder the program will be saved in. Please take the time to do this! It makes everything much more organized.

In this window you may also choose how often to record this show. If it is a program that is on every day you can record it everyday, every week, or just once. Once you have made all the appropriate choices click on the Schedule button. If the program gives you an error, this most likely means that somebody is already recording something at that time, if this is the case, close the window and try again, this time choosing the other Replay. Once a show has been chosen to record it will have a red dot next to it on the TV Listing and eventually show up in the program list in the main screen.

Playing a Show

To play a program from DVArchive, first make sure you are in the main screen, or DVR Explorer tab. Then click on the language category in which you saved the program. A list of saved programs should now appear in the main frame. Select your program and control+click on it (right-click, if you have a two-button mouse). A menu will appear, choose Play Show, then minimize the DVArchive program. The show will open using VLC. VLC may gie you an error message, just click OK and ignore it. If the program does not open VLC but gives you an error message instead, please call Ryan Furness.

Burning a Show to a DVD

If you would like a particular show burned to a playable DVD you should e-mail Ryan Furness with the name of the show and she will burn the DVD herself. At this time she is the only one with the necessary programs to burn DVArchive files to playable DVDs. If you have a DVD burner on your computer and are interested in learning how to do it yourself, please let her know.
